Brendan Scarborough: Maybe someone who has a website named Euroscep. What an incredible coincidence you showed just now with this user name.

I think this rather innocuous, though admittedly obscure statement was somehow misinterpreted by Euroscep as being something other than a cheeky blurb, -and from there this thing began to snowball.
BDF forum is several years old. I simply recognised an ironic coincidence that someone had registered with the user name Euroscep, which is the designation of the primary administrative account on my server, and also the name of several of my websites- though Euroscep Forum has been re-established as
CDA Forums.
No direct accusation or indictment was intended.

As for you Alex. How could I receive: "Brendan Scarborough is far from being a moderator " as intending anything other than a sarcastic and depreciative cheap shot?
If you had simply said: "Brendan Scarborough is not a moderator". That would have been acceptable though still unjustified. But the qualifying remark -far from- was demonstrably provocative
As for never having issued a warning?

Alex, Perhaps you did not deserve to have me jump on your back as I did, as you are probably one of the lesser offenders among the staff when it comes to member abuse. And I cheerfully retract my 'git' comment.
When I refer to member abuse, I mean the habit of certain Mods who like to respond to the posts of Conservative members by casting about such insulting aspersions as: Nazi, racist, and bigot. Though some of us take a hard line on such contentious issues as immigration; we do not, however, deserve to have such implications made of our character no matter how cleverly disguised, subtle, or indirect they may be. Perhaps I have grown overly defensive.
I have no serious argument with you.
Best regards to both you
and Euroscep.
